Avatar:Inevitable Mythology of Post-industrial Society:Discussion on the Image World Presented by a Good Film
The film's technological innovation is becoming increasingly intriguing in today's rapid develop-ment of science and technology.In addition,the image world presented by a good film should excel in the connection with realistic life,creation of metaphysical realm of imagination,and construction of a new world for the character subjects.James Cameron's Avatar accomplishes this nearly perfectly by utilizing cutting-edge filming techniques.The film not only authentically portrays a life vision of post-industrial society,where tech-nology is extremely advanced,capital is limitlessly expanding,yet people feel fragmented,locked,isolated and fearful,but it also presents the magnificent imagination of Pandora,a planet symbolizing the destination of free and complete human life.Furthermore,it explores the inner emotions and reconstruction of subject identi-ties of the characters in the crack of the two worlds.The film prompts viewers to observe all that humans have done,to reflect on the possible consequences of the future,and find the spiritual solace in the mythical pros-pect of universe life created by the film.Therefore,Avatar becomes a value reference for people entering an era of high information and intellectualization collectively reflecting and rethinking about the modern life,has a sociological significance of contemporary film production that transcends its own text,and is the mythology in-evitably arising from the post-industrial society.Avatar 2:The Way of Water is inferior by comparison in these aspects.
